Of course anyone can voice any opinion about Apple in any forum they want, but I'm not the one with a current ongoing issue that I know a solution to but am choosing not to implement to the benefit of shaming Apple in public instead.ģ. You can either whine about it or accept the fact that you did not keep your house in order and do whatever it takes to solve it for your users and customers.Ģ. I'm suggesting that if you are hosting and supporting your own physical infrastructure and file hosting solution, your first interest should be solving the problem, and as far as I can see Apple gave this outdated setup the best solution available. If you elect to run your own servers and support your own services completely, these are news you should be reading.ġ. The only lesson here is: don't drink the kool aid, and investigate every use case thoroughly without making emotional assumptions.Įdit: Despite knowing almost nothing about AFP, I found articles on Google saying that Apple shifted from AFP file sharing to SMB2 in an article dated 2013 - that's five years ago! Apple themselves state that AFP is deprecated. I have never heard anyone say that in terms of server infrastructure, Apple makes "excellent products". I've never been a big Apple fan in terms of the company, but the iPhone is an excellent product. Secondly, converting/reformatting 300 Tb of disk is a lot of work, but it's probably less work than contacting Apple, and whining about how Apple is going down the drain in a public blog post. If you're investing heavily into Apple servers, you're investing in a niche. Firstly, Apple has never been a respected actor in the server market.
